One of our babies last night during devotional was paying pretty close attention, but still does not always catch everything that is said in English or its translation. The devotional was on choices and how accepting Christ is a choice we can make.. the biggest choice. It said that some things we are born with are not a choice, like whether we have "big noses, blue eyes, or curly hair." At the end we always ask what anyone has learned. This sweet little one stood up with great confidence and said that he learned, "when we get to heaven, we will all have big noses, blue eyes, and curly hair." Here was one of many "happys" for my heart yesterday.
We spent time with a village family last week that will be our group's family for the remainder of the summer. It is an older woman, Jjajja Magrin, her daughter, Mama Mary, and Mama Mary's nephew, Enos. They are so sweet. We carried water from a well for them, and let me tell you, I will have some muscles when I return Stateside. My goal is to be able to carry one of the buckets on my head by summer's end.
God is blessing right and left. We are having a wonderful time getting to know people, loving on them, and learning how to do all things Uganda-style (such as mopping with a rag quickly and efficiently). The interns are great. We've faced no power and no water and it has been nothing less than a fantastic trip. I love it here. My heart already finds itself settling. Thank you, Jesus. And thank you guys for your prayers!!
Hi Kaley!! Can people still give while you are there? If so, ,how can we do that?
